Show HN: A website that tracks every stock trade Congress makes

Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted.

The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore.

Repo: https://github.com/kadoa-org/congress-trading-monitor

Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements!

Cool. It looks like you're packaging the data as json files in the repo. Would be neat to see the pipeline that collects it.

The data pipelines need some more work to be OS ready, but it's on my list.

At least it's not disclosed in any of his 278-T transactions (1,391 trades, which is not the full picture)

On that topic: this is both entertaining and scary, especially the bit that says they fast-tracked into the NASDAQ 100 so whether you like it or not you have to buy into Elon Musk's financial house of cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHD8BDFYyGI
